The U.S. Government Publishing Office has recognized the UNT library system as a 2015 Library of the Year in the Federal Depository Library Program. It's one of three libraries in the nation honored for its leadership, innovation and commitment to providing free public access to federal government information.

UNT has worked with the GPO for more than two decades to digitize and preserve government documents and online information, making UNT among the first libraries to begin these efforts.
